If you want to find out the true
| character OF a man get him into a
game of porker. He is bound to show
his true colors there. 1t does not
make any difference whether he is a
winner or loser, he will show him
self Just as he is before hegets through.
1t takes a cool head and lots OF nerve
to keep quiet in agame OF poker, watch
the players and never be moved
by the Jokes, growls and jeers of fell
low players. There are some players
who never know when they are beins
whipped around the bush. These fell
lows are never satisfied with the text
of the game. ii the ante is twenty
five cents they will invariably make
it seventy-five cents when it comes
their turn, so as to make Jack pot.
But it is seldom that they win one OF
these big pots. Some quiet duck, who
had no hand in the job, will open the pot
with two pair or better, and then one
of the smart Alexis, with a small pair
and an ace, or a bob-tail flush will
raise the pot and attempt to steal
by a reckless bluff But he always
gets call, and In the end finds HIM
self only the deeper in the hole. And
then he swears, calls the fellow who
beats him tight-bellied player and
thinks he Is playing in terrible hard
luck. A man who makes ii a practice
OF blufiing in a small limit game, or
who invariably comes in on a small
pair when. a jackpot is opened, is
nothing short of a chump. Put that
in your pipe and smoke it, as it fits a
good many oil You. There are some
players you never can satisfy, no mat
ter how you play; SO the only way is
to attend to your own business, keep
your mouth shut and your eyes open,
play your hand for all there is in 1t,
see that the cards are well shuflied
and cut, and'when you find chronic
GROWER or buffer in the game, study
his game and make him your meat

APortrait of Henry Clay.
December Century.

December Century.
Mr.. Clay was tall and broad-shoul-
dered without being bulky or fieshy,
and when at all excited was OF stately
and commanding presence. Though
his long limbs were loosely put togeth-
err, vet his manner was neither awk-
ward or uncouth, nor ever embarrass-
ed; on the contrary, it was easy and
natural, and wholly unpretentions; 1T
was the easy, nonchalant air OF o
man accustomed to the ways OF the
world, and conscious that he was at
least the peer of the foremost in every
crowd in which he happened to be.
Indeed, my own oppinion is that he
was never in the slightest degree, even
in his early youth, awed by the pres
ence OF any one; he never seemed to
feel, and my belief is he never felt, that
he was ever at any time i'll the pres
ence OF any one superior to himself
And therefore he was not only
strikingly at ease, but at home,
wherever he was, whether among his
neighbors or strangers, whether at a
social gathering or at the bar. or as
the Speaker of the House of Represen-
tatives. or on the floor of the senate;
and in my Judgment he would have
felt equally at home at CON
ference with kings and emperors.
He seemed to have not only an in
stinctive consciousness OF his own
strength but for his own special Ca
pacity for leadership Therefore he
would take the lead to himself as il
unconsciously, whatever the occasion,
and as naturally and as gracefully as
if it were his birthright; and few there
were, if any, who ever seemed to be
surprised that he had taken the place
for which nature appeared to have
designed him. Indeed. without any
appearance OF self-assertion on his
part, and as if unconsciously to him
self, there was something in his pres
ence and his manner that gave to him
an authoritative air, and made him for
the time the central, tile commanding
figure OF the group about him.

Mrs. Cleveland's Language.

duced friend to Mrs. Cleveland and
asked her if she spoke Spanish. Mrs
Cleveland smiled with ineffable sweet
ness and replied she did not. and said
further:

Formidable Increase OF This Terrible
Disease All over France.
In the course of the last few years
the disease which the doctors call NOR
phiamania has made formidable head
way all over France In the capital its
victims almost rival those of alchohol-
ism. At Bellevue great hospital has
been opened for the care, and, if posi-
bic, for the cure of these patients.
Here, at least, all the symptoms of the
disease may be studied, and curious sta
tistics of its course and of the character
of its victims have been collected. The
disease in its present form is necessari-
ly of but recent origin. Morphia itself
was only discovered in the year 1916.
The cure of it is very rare. 1t is found
that both the use and deprivation of the
drug lead the victims almost inevitably
to suicide, and at Bellevue there are
cushioned rooms for some OF the pa
tents, aud constant watch kept on
all. One is not surprised to hear that
the chief sufferers are women. After
women come doctors One can see the
reason of this. A few years ago the
injection Of morphia was almost sur
gical operation. Doctors would have
most opportunity and least fears Of the
results. Now. unfortunately the in
struments have been made SO perfect
that the use of them has ceased 50 be

August Pirch, who lives near Garvan-

hearty meals a day, and the way they
